Sodium Perborate Monohydrate

Sodium Perborate is a stable, solid source of active oxygen. Sodium perborate is considered as a solid form of hydrogen peroxide used as a strong oxidizing agent in various industries including detergent. In comparison with solution of hydrogen peroxide, solid form of sodium perborate compounds provide better conditions of stability and convenient handling. Both the mono and tetrahydrate of sodium perborate are used as oxidising and bleaching agents in cleaning, cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations but their main application is in detergents. Typically a detergent will contain up to 15 wt of the tetrahydrate and/or up to 10% of the monohydrate. The monohydrate is preferred if rapid solution is required.
